good morning, america. and breaking now. human error definitely to blame for the cruise ship disaster as a sixth body is recovered overnight. now a desperate search for the missing is being hampered by bad weather. this morning, why the captain steered dangerously close to land, causing a modern day "titanic." also this morning, jon huntsman quitting the run for president just days before the crucial south carolina primary why he's now set to endorse mitt romney only days after lashing out after him. on the brink, the daring rescue of a young mother and her children. 100 feet off the ground. the astonishing coincidence that

saved their lives. their rescuers speak out. and the unforgettable moments from the red carpet. the goings-on. as ricky gervais once again steals the show. and good morning, everyone. as america honors dr. martin luther king jr., and you are looking at many that are gathered at the new king memorial on the national mall in washington to pay tribute to the civil rights leader and his dream of quality for all. and we're going to hear from some of them this morning. george is taking a much-deserved break. josh elliott is here. we often say on this day, you remember the man and the message. the message is a day on, a day of office, not a day off. >> it is to honor one of the

greats in history. in dr. king's memory, say something. lots to get to. on the very latest on the crew ship disaster off the coast of italy. that desperate search for survivors has now been suspended due to bad weather. it's a search for an american couple still missing at this hour. the cruise line placing the blame squarely on that man, the captain of the ship right now. >> wait until you hear what they say about him. we'll speak to honeymooners who barely escaped. while they're calling the captain a coward. lama hasan has been there. >> reporter: good morning, robin, just moments ago in a press conference, the company that owns the cruise liner said the captain had made an unauthorized, unapproved d ed v

deviation to the port. and we're learning more details about what happened that terrifying night. [ screams ] >> reporter: overnight, stunning new images from on board the sinking "costa concordia." in these home videos, you can hear the terrified screams of passengers trying to escape. chaos, as they fight for limited spots on the lifeboat. 16 people are still missing. two of them, a retired couple from minnesota. gerald and barbara hale are excited about their 16-day trip. their kids back home say they've heard nothing. below, you see scenes of water, searching for survivors. this south korean couple on their honeymoon, rescued after being trapped in their cabin for

30 hours. but overnight, a gruesome discovery, one more body was found. a man wearing a life vest in the submerged part of the ship, raising the death toll to six. the nightmare began friday night at 9:45. the 490-foot liner was reported to be four miles off port, navigating through shallow waters just 10 o100 feet deep. drifting off the island of giglio. with a gash across its left side, within minutes water began gushing in and the vessel started tilting. at 9:50 a crew announcement. the now serious questions over how the ship's captain and crew responded. according to the ship's black box the coast guard wasn't alerted until 10:43 p.m.

and then ordered off 10:50. >> we had to wait over an hour and a half before we could get on to that boat and the boat was obviously sinking. >> reporter: the ship's captain francesco schettino is being held by authorities facing charges of manslaughter and abandoning ship. passengers claim he was among the first to escape. the last passengers evacuated three hours later. before his arrest, he told an italian tv station, we were the last ones to leave the ship. but those words of little comfort to those who clung to each other to survive. >> all i kept on telling him, i want to be with you. make sure you don't leave me. >> reporter: well, rescuers are facing more challenges today. bad weather, strong winds are creating rough seas around the vessel. the fear is that could move it further or even make it sink or even dump fuel into the water. robin? >> all right, lama, thank you very much. joining us now are bengie and

emily smith they were on that ship on their honeymoon. it's so good to see you this morning in rome. bengie, can you tell me when you knew something was wrong? >> the boat started tilting slowly and we felt this, you know, the whole gravitational shift on the boat. and then things started falling off the shelves. and then the tv started sliding off of its shelf. and then the lights flickered off and back on again. and at that point, we didn't -- we thought of nothing else but to grab our life jackets and get out of our cabins and move up to the fourth deck, which is where the lifeboats are. >> how did you go about getting out of your cabin and on the deck? >> there was screaming, children crying. a lot of confusion. there were crew members who said we have everything understand control. just be calm, don't panic.

but there wasn't any information. and the official announcement from the loud speaker didn't come on for 20 to 25 minutes, would be my guess. we waited, people speculated, but we didn't have any information for quite sometime. and even at that point, the announcement said, attention, crew members, there has been an electrical fault in the generators. we have it under control. our technicians are working on the problem. please be calm." and everyone knew that this was nonsense because the boat was leaning to the side. and since when does an electrical problem cause the boat to tilt? >> and i understand that you fashioned a rope? >> we had to improvise. there was no more instruction. no one was telling us what to do. the ship was leaning more and more and more. another passenger poufound the rope. and we tied knots in it.

>> it's just amazing that you all are doing this on your own. there's no crew members -- there was a press conference this morning that said that the captain used an unapproved and unauthorized maneuver being too close to shore like that. so it does appear that it was indeed human error with the captain. he's also being criticized, of course, for leaving the ship before everybody else was off. what would you like to say to the captain this morning? >> what a coward you are. people who are left behind were not related to each other by anything. we were helping each other to get out of their and stay alive. and he who is responsible for all of us left. that's all i can say. and people can just not believe that he's trying to lie. we feel that the costa cruise line is trying to lie right now and try to make things sound like it's all his fault. yes, but it's his fault, but it's not the end of the story. >> while we were there, you

know, holding on to this rope for three hours, we were waiting for leadership. we were waiting for someone to tell us come over this way. do this. the boats will come over here. there will be -- to get off the boat safely, you have to do this. don't jump. >> the watin the water. we had to make this up ourselves because no one helped us to do that. when we saw someone about to jump in the water, no, no, no, the water's too cold. come back. we couldn't prevent everyone from jumping because something of the people were just as scared as we were. and they didn't know we were leaders. >> from what we saw, it was every man for themselves. and people jumped into lifeboats first, but there are some people who stayed behind to help. but the main thing is, no one knows how to help because they were never trained. that is the cruise line's fault. >> bengie and emily, thank you

for sharing your story with us this morning. we're glad you're safe and you're coming home. we shift gears to "politics, your voice, your vote," breaking news, with five days to go to the critical south carolina primary, jon huntsman is dropping out of the race and expected to endorse mitt romney. huntsman once had high hopes but the hopes and candidacy are now down. abc's john berman has the story. >> reporter: you see jon huntsman in new hampshire just tuesday. >> i say third place is a ticket to ride, ladies and gentlemen! >> reporter: it turned out to be a ride to nowhere. the former republican governor of utah, an ambassador to china under president obama just could not make inroads to conservative voters. one south carolina survey even had him trailing colbert. he told george stephanopoulos on "this week," he's exploring a run, sort of. >> i'm exploring right now.

i'm a one-man lew and clark. and i'm just looking for my sacagawea. >> reporter: it's a stunning turnaround. he has brutalized on the trail. >> governor romney enjoys firing people. i enjoy creating jobs. >> reporter: yes, the relationship has been prickly. something i asked huntsman about in new hampshire. do you trust governor romney? >> he has not put forward to give us a reason for us to trust him. >> reporter: now for mitt romney, it's not just that he has high-profile endorsements on his side, he also has simple math. >> the only way that a massachusetts moderate can get to south carolina if the voters split. >> reporter: he has a lead in south carolina, ahead of newt gingrich and santorum. but using simple arithmetic, newt plus rick equals mitt.

this weekend, evangelical leaders endorsed rick santorum. what's left of the jon huntsman campaign is now scrubbing the negative from his website. that's politics. an aide told me overnight, huntsman didn't want to stand in the way of a candidate to beat barack obama. now for the latest on the penn state scandal. for the first time, joe paterno is speaking out about how he handled the allegations against his former assistant coach. abc's dan harris, our weekend anchor, has the details. >> reporter: the towering titan of college football. a man who led the penn state team under the motto of "victory with honor," painting a picture of himself as nervous and maybe even naive, when confronted with allegations that his former top lieutenant may have been a

pedophile. >> i called my superiors and i said, hey, we got a problem i think. would you guys look into it? i didn't know, you know. i had never had to deal with this. >> reporter: paterno granted the interview to "washington post" reporter sally jenkins who describes him as weakened, wearing a wig because of hair loss caused by chemo. and at times weak. >> he certainly strikes me as a man struggling to explain himself and his actions to the people who watch him. >> reporter: to the the first time paterno spoke about the day assistance coach mike mcqueary came to his home and told him he had seen jerry sandusky behave suspiciously with a boy in the shower. quote, to be frank with you, i don't know that it would have done any good because i never heard of, of, rape and a man.

because paterno wasn't sure how to handle the situation, he, quote, backed away. but those officials never told police. when the scandal broke, the board fired paterno. >> joe paterno is no longer the head football coach effective immediately. >> reporter: as the students rioted -- paterno's wife was, according to "the washington post," in a rage at the way her husband had been treated. but in this interview, paterno wouldn't glow. >> i've had a wonderful experience here at penn state. i don't want to walk away from this thing bitter. >> in the end, the man who staged his reputation for setting a higher moral standard for his players insist he did not violate his own code in this case. robin, back to you. >> dan, thank you very much. >> andrea canning is here with other top stories. good morning, robin and josh. happy monday to all of you. we begin with breaking news in the middle east. there's word this morning that

al qaeda militants have seized control of a town in yemen only 100 miles from the capital. they freed as many as 100 prisoners from a local jail. and we're just getting new information about a disaster off south korea. six others are missing. authorities believe vapors from one of the tanks caused the explosion. right, i'm channeling my inner josh here. they were the best team in football with only one loss all season but today the green bay packers will be cleaning out their lockers after their stunning collapse against the new york giants. eli manning was unstop only, throwing three touchdowns for 330 yards. the final score, giants, 37, packers, 20. next sunday, the ravens play the patriots while the giants travel to san francisco. the winners meet in super bowl xlvi. >> it's all right, robin. >> i have no commentary. >> thank you, andrea.

bought. >> reporter: gervais on his comic stun gun from don't go there, to you'll never breathe air in this town again. >> please welcome the man who will wear nearly anything they tell him to, johnny depp. the next is the queen of pop. she's a material girl and she's just like a virgin -- please welcome madonna! >> reporter: the reinvigorated stars chose with the would-be tormenter. >> if i'm still just like a virgin, ricky, why don't you do something about it? i haven't kissed a girl in a few years. >> when ricky gervais came to me, margaret thatcher. >> there are angry religious people outside threatening as

always, brimstone and petulence. and then we have ricky. >> reporter: some with his cut-throat comedy and dared to play along. >> they're extremely talented and probably very interesting. i'm not sure because i can't understand a [ bleep ] word they say. >> ricky -- [ speaking foreign language ] >> ricky, i don't understand him either. >> reporter: claire danes globe winner for "homeland" gave gervais a thumbs up. >> he wasn't try to come ridiculous or mean. i thought he did a really great job. >> maybe it's tough to get rick riled, but it's fun to hear hollywood saying, mama, here comes that man. guys. >> thank you, chris. >> they were having a good time. also, we're going to have more from the golden globes from hollywood's awards to the hottest looks. all the details ahead.

10-month-old milo and 10-year-old sage. this big truck rear ended the groves moments before it burst into the creek below and burst into flames. the truck driver, charles allison jr. killed instantly. inside, kelli lynne groves and her two daughters struggled to get free. >> they were teetering over the edge. >> reporter: then a stroke of luck. a u.s. navy construction crew, seebees, they're called, just happened to be driving along on this california highway. and just happened to have the exact equipment needed to rescue the groves. >> they came out and wanted to help. they had a large forklift with them so they could support the bmw as it was teetering on the side of the bridge. >> reporter: the seebees

forklift kept it steady. these photos captured 10-year-old sage as she was wheeled away. surprisingly, 10-month-old milo had barely a scratch. >> i think that car seat did save her life. >> reporter: obviously it wasn't just the car seat. the rescue workers and the navy seebees never gave up. heroes saving the lives of a mother and her daughters. for "good morning america," david wright, abc news, los angeles. >> and joining us now from buellton, california, ray navarro, rescuers and fire medic. the fire department, joined by the rescuers on hand. ray, again, i want to begin with you. we should mention charles allison jr. driver of that big rig has plunged off the bridge. he's in fiery action below and that bmw is dangling from the side of the bridge. this is the scene that you arrived to, what was your first

priority? >> well, first priority is life safety. that's for the firefighters as well as the occupants in the car. this was a complex situation with three in one. you mentioned the fire and tractor trailer. we have the vehicle with its occupants dangling on the bridge. and a hazardous material release downstream. very difficult to manage. and first of all, just the team work, the members standing behind me, they're all spectacular in what they do. and the courage, their abilities and skill. it all came together. in that moment, and we focused on rescuing those inside the trapped vehicle. >> again, these are staggering pictures to see. greg knuckles, you're actually leaning over the railing. looking over the car. you're talking to the mother and to sage, the 10-year-old

daughter. kelli groves' feet actually dangling out of the car. what was she saying to you? >> she was saying get me and my children out of here. she was very scared. and i remember her saying she wanted to us get a net below her. i told her we just don't hav that kind of equipment. i needed her to remain calm and patient. thank goodness she's a strong woman and supportive for her children and cooperative. >> how much time do you think you have to get the three of them out of that car? >> well, i just want to say that it took a long time when we first started the operation, first, to stabilize the vehicle for certain. and the safety of our firefighters, all tethered from start to the operation. it was organized, the rescue operation into its components. and having done that, i believe it took about an hour and 20 minutes for the first person to

be extricated from the vehicle. a very time-consuming and very meticulous in the way we had to work in and around the vehicle. it was just dangling and teetering. and thank goodness, when i called for a crane and ordered some support to help us, the commander chief, as i looked up, we had the seebees there with their heavy forklift. amazing. it was definitely a divine intervention at that point. >> it was an incredible stroke of luck. when you were able to free them, what it kelli groves say to you? >> kelli groves just said thank you. she was happy to be free. and quite frankly, she was concerned about her husband -- i mean, concerned about her baby and her 10-year-old. that was her main concern.

she also wanted us to contact her husband. >> again, kelli and 10-year-old sage airlifted to the hospital. amazingly, 10 week-old milo almost not a scratch. thank you so much for your bravery. >> thank you. >> we'll take another look at the weather, sam champion. >> unbelievable. >> really, really. that's incredible. 2 1/2 hours they were dangling off of that bridge. >> when you see those pictures, you don't know how anybody survived out of that. let's get to the boards. a lot of folks talking snow. portland got about an inch, seattle got about two. that puget sound area got about nine inches of snow. all the road surfaces were slippery. they're not used to getting heavy snow. they get them in the coast. they get them in the mountains. seattle is getting another one. another one by tuesday or wednesday. all in all by that time, seattle area will probably have more

cup of water with baking soda and nuclear it until it boils. stuck-on gunk comes off easy and it's pretty clean. drop a denture tablet into your toilet, and after 30 minutes, a few swishes of the brush get rid of that ring around the bowl. but heads up, your bowl will spell strangely minty fresh. need to clean the mirrors? choose coffee filters instead of paper towels. they're cheap, the right size, and they don't leave any streaks. are you ready? pop quiz time. which product does the best job cleaning blinds? a drier sheet, a wet wipe or a feather duster. i knew you'd guess it right. it's a dryer sheet. it will create an anti-static barrier that prevents dust from building up again. better it doesn't have to be new. a used one straight out of the dryer works just as well. vinegar and water say great

deodorizer for a musty bathroom. spray it down. smells good. finally, a stick and tube socks are great for getting rid of cobwebs. also works for under couches and cabinets. remember these secrets. things your house cleaner won't tell you. >> that's crazy. a new issue of "readers digest" spotlighting 13 things your house cleaner won't tell you is on news stand tomorrow. editor of "reader's digest," liz, it's not just house cleaners, it's going to run the gamut? >> this is the most popular column in the magazine. whether your real estate agent or your waiter. we asked about a dozen people in this industry. what are the things that you don't necessarily want your customers to know but they might like to know, they might need to

know, or they'd be shocked to know? so the column's really helpful and it's a hoot. >> we were just discussing restaurant inspectors. 13 things again. including to ways to check how thorough your housekeepers are. >> housekeepers tell us, at the end after they leave your house, check the base of the toilet and the top of the refrigerator. >> okay. >> and if both of those areas are clean, you have a pretty good confidence that they did a thorough job. >> the spring. ways to save money? >> so instead of making a regular appointment. ask to make a special request to be put on their on-call list for slots that might open up to get at discount. that's one idea. the second strategy is to become a test home do for house cleaners who are new to the job. >> interesting. everybody's concerned when somebody's in there cleaning their house that they are stealing stuff.

that they're not around, how to protect yourself. >> this one is so sneaky, i almost don't want to say it. but since the house cleaners told us, one of the things you should do with a new cleaner is to leave a few dollars on the counter or change in your pocket, if you come home and some of that is gone, it's likely you might have things disappear. >> i know back in the day, my mother would make us clean the house before somebody came to clean the house. what can we do to make sure they arrive to get the best job? >> right. it's a little counterintuitive. if you take a few minutes to pick the toys up off the floor. take the dishes out of the sink, the dirty clothes out of the hamper. your housekeeper isn't making piles. he or she is then clean the surfaces. >> i need all the help i can get. liz, thanks very much again. print and digital newsstands tomorrow, check it out at
